CARES cat shelter has prepared its October adoption event for this weekend, Oct. 28 and 29 at Cedar Rim Nursery.

鈥淓veryone of all ages is welcome. We will have a reasonable number of kitties up for adoption,鈥� said Clive Ellis, public relations director at CARES 鈥� Canadian Animal Rescue and Extended Shelter.

The shelter has a longstanding relationship with Cedar Rim, Ellis said, and the owner has supported its adoption events for years.

This will be the second adopt-a-thon event at the nursery this year. The location is an ideal spot with the extra foot traffic of visitors.

鈥淎ll these events, of course, help us tremendously in raising funds for the shelter,鈥� explained Ellis.

Presently, CARES has more than 150 feline friends in its care, and the costs are rising to provide adequate food and medical care.

鈥淲e pride ourselves on giving the cats a good home, lots of love and attention,鈥� Ellis said. 鈥淭hese poor [cats] need our help, they need our support, and hopefully we can find them good homes.鈥�

Shelter volunteers will be at the event to process adoptions and provide information to visitors on potential adoptees.

It runs both Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

Cedar Rim Nursery is located at 7024 Glover Rd.
